Nikalos Telsa Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 1. Have you ever had a Lakeside dentist/specialist ever tell you that you didn't have sufficient jawbone to have a good implant? I am planning t ask and pay for an answer from a dental implant specialist and tell him beforehand that no matter what his/her answer, I am not going to have him/her do the work. My reason is that by saying this, he/she has nothing to gain. 2. I have seen in the Ojo ads for single implants for $10,000.00. Has anyone had one or more of these locally/Lakeside and you paid $10,000.00 for the entire job? Direct answers hoped for. Anything else, please PM me. This includes referrals. Thanks to those who will directly answer my questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 1. YES. Dr. Barragan (who personally does not do implants but does have a Guad specialist come in for those). He confirmed my US dentists recommendations to not put an implant on a certain tooth. So I did a 3-tooth bridge with another dentist. IMO, one does NOT need an implant specialist to determine whether an implant is advisable (due to lack of sufficient bone structure). Another IMO.... one can just go to a trusted dentist asking for a second opinion about this. NO need to say '...and I'm not going to have you do it'. 2.

sm1mex Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Yes. Tomography of the mouth bones need to indicate there is enough strong bone to support the implants. I had a Friend who wanted implants but his bone structure was not strong enough to support the implant procedure. Could have been osteoporosis of the bone or other reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the OP may have his moments, he simply asked a question. Your response was ugly and uncalled for. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 I was also told that because of my age 82, not to do implants so I did bridges, which are working fine, and no pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvanparys Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 I asked my dentist how long an implant would last... She said probably more than 30 years... I told her I won't... A bridge worked out fine... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
